WOW IDEA # 4 A Kinder, Gentler Philosophy of Success

A KINDER,GENTLER PHILOSOPHY OF SUCCESS

Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure -- and questions the assumptions underlying these two judgments. Is success always earned? Is failure? He makes an eloquent, witty case to move beyond snobbery to find true pleasure in our work.
